What would it be like to grow "Victory Gardens"?

Victory Gardens during WWII extended rations for the American fighting force. Does anyone grow a small garden for health today? Here's an idea from Chappy. Grow a Victory Garden and find a WWII, Korean War or Vietnam War Vet who is in need and share a portion of your garden vegetables with him or her. Time to help raise morale among Veterans, while at the same time giving yourself a healthy and relaxing hobby. Plus, what's healthier than fresh, organic vegetables grown by the hands of you and your loved ones? How about it? Bring back the Victory Garden?

I like this idea. I've worked gardens back home with my Grandpa for many years. Now that I live on post I don't necessarily have access to a personal garden, although private plots in the community garden can be acquired--the distance from here to there isn't easily negotiable.

I do like this idea and enjoy working the ground and eating the produce. Excellent idea Chappy! Thanks for sharing!
